Eagle 30/30 No. 18 – Pretty File Layouts, Boards

by Carlyn Maw on June 19, 2011, no comments

So a quick, last minute, right before midnight post today.  

I needed a way to put indicators on schematics for objects that really only appear on boards.  I’ve created a system with items in rectangles for objects destined for Document Layer (48) and not in rectangles for ones headed to tPlace (21).  Items on tPlace if mirrored will actually be on bPlace.   _BRD shows up in the names symbols and devices that are DOC(umentation) objects that have an effect on the board. Additionally the letters _REF are added to the names for the items on layer 48 – i.e. refereance only, not for printing.

The run down of the new items in the library… sorry no picutres today. They are pretty boring looking anyway even if they’ll save me time.
